Pulling the Thread: A Pastoral Philosophy on Church Revitalization
Most churches don't unravel overnight. They fray-thread by thread. A program falters, a leader grows weary, a congregation forgets its first love. But what if those frayed threads aren't signs of failure, but invitations from God to begin again?
In Pulling the Thread, pastor and church revitalizer Dave Kiehn draws from more than a decade of pastoral experience at Park Baptist Church to offer a gospel-centered vision for renewal. With honesty, warmth, and biblical clarity, Dr. Kiehn helps pastors and churches trace every tangled thread of ministry-preaching, leadership, friendship, culture, and mission-back to Christ Himself.
